End of an Icon?


From this article:

"Apple is masterful at making radical pivots. It killed the floppy drive, the CD drive, and the headphone jack in iPhones, while Macintosh systems went from the Motorola 68000 to the PowerPC chip to the Intel X86 line of chips.... What I'm sensing is that like the old Apple II (forever), the Mac will be phased out and the whole line will be replaced by iPads."
This strikes me as a strange doubling down. Of course, Apple's been right, time and again.  Yet, I can't help but wonder If the iPad Pro really enough of a computer to compete directly against the Surface laptop.
